It wasn't to smooth things over.

"Sect leader, the alchemy Grandmaster that we have invited is at a critical point in his cultivation these few days. Why don't we let Wu Zongs refine the divine essence pill first, and then I will send someone to urge them to come out of their seclusion? what do you think?" Elder Liang said to Gu Jihan as he wiped the sweat off his forehead.

"Alright, then let's invite the spiritual alchemist that Wu Zong invited to refine it first." Sect master Gu said calmly.

"Young master Ling, I'll leave it to you then." Luo Yunshan said to Ling Chuxi expectantly. They really hoped that the sect master would be angry and declare that the Dharma sect had failed. However, this was a matter that involved the status of both the Dharma sect and the martial arts sect. The sect master would definitely not make such a decision lightly, so they were not too disappointed.
